Alexander is scheduled to be arraigned in Fayette Circuit Court at noon Aug. 29. No bond has been set on the murder charge.

Court records show Alexander has been arrested multiple times for public intoxication, as well as other offenses.

Crawford had been released from the Fayette County jail, where he had been held for alcohol intoxication, the day before his body was found in a tree-lined field near Georgetown Street and Newtown Pike.
